The guys hopped out of the car, without swimsuits, and took off running towards the ocean first thing. Once they got there, that's where they wanted to stay! 
He loved playing around, but mostly boogie boarded. For some reason I don't have one shot of him on his board! Maybe it's because I was watching over Benji. It was a dog friendly beach and Benji loved being with us. 
I took this shot of Saint George St. as we DROVE by...next time I will walk the entire street all the way to Scarlet O'Hara's restaurant! I'm sure after such a walk I'll have to sit a spell and have a bite to eat.
Sights like this sail boat is much more exciting to my Little Man than the "Oldest house in America"...which I did not get to see, OR the "Oldest wooden school house" OR the St. Augustine Lighthouse & Museum. Do I sound a bit bitter, really, I'm not, (now)...kinda was then. I love places with history. I WILL be returning...what do you suggest I see and do on my next trip to Saint Augustine, Florida? 
The good news about so much beach time is that my "boys" were all tuckered out each night! Is this not sweet or what y'all ? I am blessed.
I guess with something as beautiful and inviting as this, I can't blame my Little Man for wanting to stay. The next trip to this area will not include going down those stairs. Well, maybe once.

I think you need a girls only day there : )
I don't blame them though...I love the beach too!
That looks like bliss to me, too!
Beautiful shots!
Gotta love the boys fast asleep after such a fun day!
Best wishes

Wow, Shelley, that last shot looks like a postcard gal! Glad you had fun, but you do have to see more!! So do I! I have always been on a school trip or something when I have gone up there, and even last time at the party couldn't stay because I had a miserable sinus headache.
Maybe we need to plan a "Girls only" trip up there one day!!
It's great to see you post! Hope all is well!
HUGS,
Becky
That does look like fun, and definitely beautiful! I completely understand the whole "places with history" thing though~ how fun it would be to see the oldest house in America! :) I hope next time you get to see all of those wonderful places!
I wanted also to let you know that I am having a giveaway over at my blog, if you would like to check it out! :)
I hope you have a beautiful day!
Its been a few years since I've been to St. A, but we did walk the area, played on the beach, and we toured a very old fort. Can't think of the name, but they shot a cannon while were there. (on the roof top).. way cool.
BTW.. I was in Shipshee over the weekend.
Have a great one!
Beautiful scenes. I do hope you get to go and check out those other interesting places.
Blessings,Ruth
Lovely post. I love the pictures. Very nice place, no wonder why the boys want to stay there.
How awesome! I love your pictures and the puppy is adorable and so is your son! I've been to St. Augustine a couple of times. Love the Fort! I'm trying so hard not to be jealous of you, but I'd love to be in FL.
Well...I'll admit it. I'm jealous!
St Augustine is my very special place (which you would know if you read my blog). My boys spent every summer, we've lived in FL, skim- boarding on that beach. I cannot wait to get there again...

I love this picture of the stairs leading to the beach. That alone warrants an invitation to join! I can see why you stopped. Lovely views and it looks like you had a wonderful and memorable time.
Make sure you stop by my blog for a chance to enter in both book giveaways as one ends tomorrow.
Love and Hugs ~ Kat
Little Man looks so exhausted and happy sleeping away!
I'm so glad to see that you guys are enjoying Florida. Live it up!
Jai
I so want to go there! It looks beautiful!
Glad you got to see some what of it! It's still nice to just drive around but not as fun as walking! St. Augustine is one of my favorite places to take photos! You got some good ones!! But I also can't blame them for wanting to stay around!
Hello & Good morning!
Thank you for stopping over.
I my self stopped over & your sweet pup is a doll! Yes, we are still praying & at least you can relate to our "praying" about a puppy!
I also enjoyed the wonderful beach...you have a sweet family, looks like your adjusting to your move! :) We are longing for some warmer weather here in WI!I will be back later!
Have a great week!
Blessings~

So nice to meet you! This is my second year doing the Ultimate Blog Party.
We love Florida! We will be going to Disney World next year. I will finally get to meet some of my Florida bloggy friends in real life! I have never been to St. Augustine though.
I love the picture of your puppy, he is adorable! My dog is about 5 pounds and she is a brindle poodle, but people always think she's a yorkie.
Actually, she resembles your dog. You can see if (if you want) by clicking on the "dog" label on sidebar as I've posted several pictures of her and our beagle.
St. Augustine is on my list of places to see. I really hope that I make it there one day! I love places that are filled to the brim with history! Beautiful pictures!
This is St. Augustine???? So nice and looks fun. We went there all the time when I was a little girl, but I haven't been there in many years!
AHHH....I feel like I am at the beach just reading this post! How beautiful, how could you not want to stay?! Happy to be following you now, if you have a moment, come over and see me too! :) Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!! XOXO
Shell, I wish you had called me because I could have rescued you for some girly stuff! LOL!
I recognize all of those sites, and I will be happy to be your personal tour guide. Get my number from Becky the next time you want to come. Hopefully, I won't be up to my eyeballs in workmen. I still am. Have just taken a break today because I felt like I had to have a rest. Tomorrow I start up again. I can't wait for all to be done.
XO,
Sheila :-)
